Las Vegas (2003–2008): Season 2, Episode 14 - The Lie Is Cast - full transcript

Construction CEO Monica Wells is thrown out by Ed for extreme rudeness to the Montecito staff. She files a 'sexual' complaint against Danny, whom she in fact failed to seduce while he was off duty but brought her, more drunk the him, to her suit at Delinda's insistence. It turns out legal help won't suffice, this problem is in Ed's league. Meanwhile Mystique's cash-flow results in a lunch experiment which proves hard to sell to chef Gunther or the guests.

##

Do you like ChocoChunks?
I love ChocoChunks.

I'm not kidding you. I've had
whole meals of nothing
but ChocoChunks.

Me, too.
Really?

Danny.

Delinda. Hey, baby.
You got to
meet my friend, Lisa.

Lisa, this is
my friend Delinda.
Hi.

I need you...
She likes ChocoChunks.

I am thrilled that you two
have so much in common
but I need you to focus.

We do.
Danny.

What?



I need you to escort
that woman to her room.

No. I'm off duty.

Danny. It'll take security...
No. I'm not working right now.

...at least 10 minutes
to get here
and I don't want some...

drunk passed out
on my couch. Please.

Please, as a favor to me.
I'm a little drunk.

Really?

Okay.
I love you.

I'll be right back.

Miss.

Hey.

I'm going to take you up
to your room.

Sounds good to me.

No. I'm with the Montecito.



I'm not on duty, but I'm gonna
help you up to your room.

Up.

Okay, have a good night.
Drink lots of coffee.

Okay. You are making this
very difficult.

I'm not making it hard?

Maybe some other time. Okay?
You should go to bed.

Well, all right.

But I can't take this
dress off by myself, so you're
gonna have to help me.

Unzip it.

Okay. I'll unzip it,
but then I have to go.

Take it off.

Come on. I'm feeling
a little dizzy.

Okay.

No. I'm...

I don't think that
this is a very good idea.

I sleep naked.

I gotta go.

Way to be tough, Danny.

Or did I just waste
a perfectly good opportunity?

Nah.

So rude.

I'm okay.

Let me sit down for a minute.

Jesus.

Is that Danny?

Danny.

Mikey.

Dude, what is going on?
How you doing?

You're here sleeping
in the third-floor corridor.
Come on.

I'm not sleeping...

Okay. I get a pretty good idea
about what's going on.

I bet she put that in there.

Yeah. She must've done
a lot of things. Get up, man.

You ought to be more careful.

First off, doing a guest
is dangerous, and second,
I saw you up in surveillance.

If Big Ed had seen you...
Nothing happened.

Cool. That's the story
we'll go with.

If we got to do
anything that involves
moving my head...

or looking at light,
forget it.

I'm not doing it.

Hair of the dog, man.
Tomato juice and beer.

So, you gonna tell me
what really happened
with that chick?

I told you. Nothing.

Was she hot?

I don't know.

You tell me. That's her.

That's it?

I'm sorry, I thought
you ordered tomato juice.

Don't be a smart-ass.
I meant the size of the glass.

If you'd like
a different glass...

You think a healthy glass
of tomato juice is that small?

Use your brain
if you have one.

Excuse me. I'm Ed Deline.
I'm President of Operations.

I'm sorry, I couldn't help
but overhear.

Mr. Deline, I'm...
No. Penny, it's just fine now.

Why don't you
get the young lady
another glass of tomato juice.

A larger one.
Okay.

You ought to fire her.
Are you a guest here?

Monica Wells.
Moncor Construction.
Of course you are.

I am C.E.O. Of one of
the largest construction
and engineering concerns...

in the world, Mr. Deline.
I expect a certain level
of service.

Your waitress is a moron.
A moron?

Despite the fact that you're
a guest here, I would
very much appreciate it...

if you'd try to treat
our employees with just
a little respect.

The juice is on us.
Thanks, Penny.

If she worked for me,
I'd fire her.
Well, thank you.

Enjoy your stay.

##

Well, here's Ed.
Ed, you remember Don Stinson.

Sure do. How you doing?
Good.

Sam taking good care of you?
She get you back
into your regular suite?

Yeah. She came through,
as usual.
Great.

We're all set.
Good.

But there is one thing.
I didn't want to
make a big deal.

No. Don't be silly.
Don brought his daughter.

Megan. She's four now.
That's a great age.

I remember when Delinda
was four. I think.

That's nice.

Megan said she heard
a screaming woman...

on the other side
of her bedroom wall
last night.

Now, I know she's just
a little kid, but...

No. I told him we'd handle it.
Yeah. We sure will.

We'll make sure
everything's okay.

Thank you.
You enjoy your stay.

Thanks.
See you later.

- Ed's all right.
- Yo, Mike.

Gunther.

Gunther!

Yeah, I'm coming,
Miss D.

You smell the aroma, no, huh?

I smell our revenues
going south.

Yeah, well, please try.
This is my new terrine
of veal loin and scrod...

with the Henry Sauce,
of course. Here, now.

There we go. It's good, no?

Really, your food is great,
Gunther. That is
not the problem.

Okay.

The problem is
our costs are going up.

But since we're already
sold out every night,
our meal count isn't.

So, we can either
raise our prices...

and sacrifice a lot of
our expense-account business...

You know, you look so lovely
today. May I watch you
take a bath?

Or we can start serving lunch.

Lunch?
Lunch.

Fine restaurants
do not serve lunch.

I think we should. I mean,
this place sits empty
12 hours a day.

We are under-utilizing
our facilities.

No. Do not talk to Gunther
about lunch.

My good friend,
my dear friend,
Paul Anka has returned...

and I must make
the special plum strudel
for his dressing room.

Benito. You can talk to
the gypsy boy here
about lunch.

You see this here?
This is not for lunch.

I've already reminded you
once, Ms. Wells.

Players aren't allowed
to touch the cards.

What difference does it make?
It doesn't change them.

I'm not cheating.
House rules.

For $500 a hand, I should be
able to touch a card.

Ms. Wells, if you can't
abide by our gaming...

I'll abide by them as soon as
someone gives me
a logical explanation.

##

Security at Table 6.

What is it
with this place?

Is no one trained
to give a straight answer?

Well. Yes, I am.

Here we go again.
How can I be of service?

Ms. Wells objects to our rule
prohibiting physical contact
with the cards.

That is the rule.
Why?

Most importantly
because I said so. Is that
straight enough for you?

Everything okay?
No. I got it, Danny. Thanks.

He works for you, too?
Yes.

He's as bad
as the rest. Worse.

Ms. Wells, I think it's time
you left the casino.

Screw you.
Thank you.
Also vacate the property.

You're throwing me out?
Yes, I am. Greg.

You are making a big mistake.

You are no longer welcome
at the Montecito. Ever.

Greg, would you escort
this lady up to her room...

have her pack her belongings,
and escort her
off the property.

Don't touch me.

Thanks.

Paul. Welcome back.

Delinda. How are you?

Great. How are you?
Good. Good to see you.

How was the strudel
Gunther sent over?
It's the best.

I know. You know
he really likes you.
Respects your opinion.

Well, he and I go way back.
In fact, I invested
in his first place in LA.

Really.

Listen, Paul, could you
suggest to him that
Mystique start serving lunch?

I'd be really grateful.
Lunch?

Yeah. We need to
increase our revenues...

and Gunther thinks
that lunch is beneath him.

He'll listen to you.
Well.

Nothing wrong with lunch.
I eat it every day.

Great. Just tell him that.
You got it.

Sign here, please.

You will be hearing
from my lawyer.

Not if he has a degree,
I won't.

He'll tell you I can
deny service to any jerk
that I'd like to.

Not about this.

Last night, your underling,
Danny, I think that's
what you called him...

forced me to perform
a sex act on him
and he groped me.

You are pathetic.

I want a formal apology.
I want world peace.

If you're not interested,
I'm sure the police will be.

Greg.

Would you get her out of here?
Let's go.

- It's a complete lie.
- I believe you.

I just thought it better that
I hear it from you
what really happened.

What happened was nothing.

This woman, Monica,
I didn't even know
what her name was...

was drunk off of her ass
in Mystique.

You can ask Delinda.
She'll tell you.
I will.

So, anyway, she's drunk
off her... In Mystique.

Yes. And Delinda asked me
to get her out of the club...

and to take her up
to her room, so I did.

On the way up there,
she starts coming on to me...

and then tells me that
she can't sleep
in her clothes...

and can I help her
take off her dress...

because she'll pass out
if she tries to do it herself.

So, I help her
out of her dress. That's it.
Then I left. Nothing happened.

I didn't grope her and
I definitely didn't force her
to do anything.

What the hell is this?

She's a C.E.O. Of some big
construction company.

She's probably never been
rejected by a hotel or a guy.

So to get back at us
she makes up
some stupid threat.

That's it. Listen,
do me a favor and relax.

She's probably gonna
figure out she made this
big mistake and that's that.

##

Hey. What'd you find
on the screaming
next to Stinson's room?

Nothing.
His daughter heard it
again today.

The people in the room
next to Megan are a nice
elderly couple.

Everything looks very normal.

Maybe they had their TV
cranked up really loud,
watching some horror movie.

No. Megan's positive it came
from a real person.

Come on, Sam. You know
how kids are.
And Megan's what, four?

Okay. Mr. Stinson is
convinced his daughter
didn't make it up.

She wasn't dreaming it.
It wasn't on the TV.

Does that mean
we're convinced?

Michael, this is
a service business.

We do not debate the merits
of service. We provide it.

I tell you what. I will set up
some audio recording equipment
outside their room.

Meantime, why don't you
just move them to
a different suite?

No. He doesn't want to move.
It's his lucky suite. I know.

Who cares how it traumatizes
his daughter? Please stop
the screaming.

I'm on it. No more screaming.

Thank you.

Delinda.

I have been inspired
for a name for my new terrine.

It will be my Terrine
Die Brandung und Der Rasen...

my surf and turf terrine.

I like this.
This is a good one.

There's my good friend,
Paul Anka.

Good to see you. Hey, Delinda.

Paul, good to see you.
You enjoyed my strudel, no?

Delicious. It got me thinking,
Gunther.

I'm always performing
when you guys are open.

And so, what can we do
for to please my good friend,
Paul Anka?

Why don't you start
serving lunch?

Come on, Gunther. It would be
great. And you know what
you should serve?

Burgers.
Burgers.

Burgers.
Burgers.

Great idea.
Burgers.

Most people do not know
what a funny comedian is
my good friend, Paul Anka.

I'm serious, Gunth.
Think about it.

Master Chef Gunther's take
on the all-American burger...

with your own special twist.

You know, most people would be
too surprised by what
Gunther would do...

with this sad little sandwich.

You start serving lunch,
I will sing
at the grand opening.

Danny.

Luis, what's going on?

I didn't wanna call you
from the station. I wanted to
talk to you privately.

What's going on?

A woman named Monica Wells
came in and filed a complaint
against you.

Unbelievable.

She's claiming forced
oral copulation
in her hotel room.

That never happened.
Okay, this woman is a liar.

This is what everybody
downtown figures.

But you know
how these things work.

She files a complaint,
we've got to investigate.

She's psychotic, Luis.
Ed had to throw this woman
out of the casino.

Someone will be coming over
to get your statement...

so if you need some time
to prepare...
Prepare for what?

You prepare when you need
to make up an alibi.

I didn't do anything.
You know that's not
what I mean.

I'm just giving you
a heads up.

I know. All right.
Okay. Thanks.

Hey, I thought you went home.

Monica Wells filed a complaint
against me.

I'm sorry, son.

I've seen this crap happen
a lot of times. Trust me,
it'll go away.

Cops will look into it.
They'll see there's
nothing there.

You should know that
when all this
stuff happened...

I had a little bit too much
to drink, too.

How little?

Well, I was more together
than she was, I think...

but I passed out
in the hallway,
outside the room.

So you got drunk...

and you escorted a guest,
a woman, to her room?

Do you know
how stupid that is?

Delinda asked me
to take her up to her room.

Then Delinda is stupid.

You do not get drunk
on hotel property.

You do not fall asleep
or pass out in a hallway.

You're Head of Security.
Listen, if you want to
get drunk...

go downtown to some joint
with the rest of them punks,
or a strip club...

where somebody can't see you.

Ed, I'm sorry.
Yeah, I know you are.

I mean, you put the Montecito
at risk and you embarrassed
the hell out of me.

Go see Kathy Berson,
all right?

The lawyer?
Yes.

The complaint involves
the Montecito property...

with a Montecito employee.

Okay.

No matter how this looks,
you gotta believe
that I didn't do it.

I know that.

But we're not talking about
what you didn't do.

We are talking about
what you did do.
Now go see Kathy.

All right.

- Send me Mike.
- Yes, sir.

What's up, boss?
What are you working on?

Those fourth-floor screams.
You know,
Mr. Stinson's daughter.

I need you to do
a background check on this...

broad I tossed out of here
this morning, a Monica Wells.

She's a real pain in the ass.

Anything specific
you're looking for?
Yeah. Leverage.

You know what I'm
talking about.

I got you.

Hey.
Hey, Mikey, what's up?

I'm on my way to pick up
the audiotape on fourth...

get to the bottom
of the mysterious screams.

Yeah, I forgot about that.

You okay?
Fine.

That chick
from the other night...

filed a complaint against me.

The one with the bra?
Yeah.

She claims that I
forced myself on her.

You gotta be kidding me.
A freaking joke is what it is.

And when I
get these charges dropped...

I'm going to sue her ass
for defamation of character.

This...
So you know the cops
are gonna want to...

talk to you about finding me
passed out in the hallway.

What did you say?
I haven't talked to them.

'Cause I don't need to
mention the bra.

You don't see it
on the surveillance footage.

In the hallway
the other night, did I mention
anything to you...

about anything that
I might have done?
No.

Because I'm pretty sure
that nothing happened.

I'm almost certain, almost.
Listen.

When I got there, first thing
you said, "nothing happened."

Good.

Because nothing did.
Just tell the truth.
Everything will be cool.

This is B.S., Danny.

Big lunch opening day, huh?

Yeah, I'm a little nervous.

Paul Anka'll draw a crowd,
but Gunther's being
very secretive...

about his burger recipe.

I'm sure it'll be fine.

Listen, you remember that girl
you had me take up to her room
a couple of nights ago?

Yeah, the drunk.
You remember how many drinks
she had?

I didn't see how many drinks
she had, but she was
obviously plastered.

Yeah.
Why?

She's been complaining
about the way we treated her.

The way we treated her?

Daddy said she was yelling
at some poor waitress about
the size of her juice glass.

Actually, she's been
complaining about the way
I treated her.

She's saying that I
took advantage of her.
That I touched her.

Which I didn't.

Of course you didn't.
In her dreams you touched her.

So you'll vouch for the fact
that she was drunk
off her ass?

Of course.

Thank you.
Don't worry.

Okay. Thank you.

Bitch.

Please tell me you've
taken care of this
screaming thing.

It's starting to affect
Stinson's play.

I have the fourth-floor tape
right here.

This display will tell me...

if there are any sounds
within the human
voice spectrum.

All right.

What?
This can't be.

Sam, listen to this.

Tell me that's not
what I think it is.

It's a high-decibel rendition
of hide-the-salami.

This couple's, like,
70 years old.

So it's hide-the-aged-salami.
It is kind of disturbing.

No, I think it's great.
More power to them.

The problem is we can't tell
married folks not to have sex.

And the Stinsons won't move.
So move the old couple.

That's a good idea. Hey, wait.
Can you move them?

I got something else
I'm working.

No. You got something else?
No lie, Sam.
I got something else.

Mike. All right. Fine.

But you owe me. Like, huge.

How about it for Gunther?

##

# Having my burger #

# What a lovely way
of dressing up
a ground meat patty #

# Having my burger #

# One bite, one taste
and I'm suddenly feeling
so happy #

# They didn't fry it
or bake it slow #

# They grilled that meat
with good mesquite
and cooked it just so #

# I'm thinking you know #

# Having my burger #

# What a lovely way
of dressing up
a ground meat patty #

# Having my burger ##

All right.

Yeah.

That's it.
That's what happened.

You were both drunk.
Yeah.

And due to your intoxication,
you fell asleep in the hallway
outside her room.

Aren't you supposed to be
on my side?

I believe she's lying
through her teeth, but I'm
paid to be a realist, Danny.

This is a classic:
He said, she said.

It's all gonna come down to
who's more credible
in front of a jury.

A jury?

If it gets that far,
and I don't think it will.

Nine times out of 10
these people are just here
for a monetary settlement.

No. I'm not giving this woman
a dime, okay?

I'll go to trial if I have to.
Besides, she's some
corporate honcho anyway.

I mean, I don't see her
doing this for the money.

Any idea as to why
she is doing it?
I don't know.
That's the thing.

Maybe she's trying to make
her boyfriend jealous.

Maybe she's just
a vindictive bitch.

Ed kicked her
out of the casino.
Maybe that's it.

Don't worry.
I've dealt with crazies
like this before.

We're gonna go in.
We're gonna talk to...
Wait. We?

No. I walk in there with
a lawyer, it's gonna look like
I got something to hide.

No, it's gonna look like
you know your rights.

All right. Let me go
think about this.

What do you think, doc?

It's his word against hers.
They were both drunk.

I think there's
a pretty good chance
the D.A.'ll file charges.

I've never seen anything
like it, Ed.

This Monica Wells is
clean as a whistle.
Not even a parking ticket.

I tell you what.

Why don't you check
on her family,
anybody close to her.

Her family?
Mike, I just want information.

I'm not asking you, nor would
I ever ask you to do anything
illegal or unethical, okay?

Is Monica Wells the woman
who accused Danny?

Because if she is, I got
no problem doing whatever
needs to be done.

You won't have to do anything.
Just find out what you can.

All right.
All right.

Mr. Deline.
Yeah.

Someone left this
on the valet desk out front.

Thanks.

Mr. And Mrs. Socal?
Present.

I'm Samantha Marquez
with the Montecito.
Are you enjoying your stay?

Couldn't be better.
Wonderful.

I'm glad to hear that.

You know, we have
a special program here,
at the Montecito.

It's called
the "surprise upgrade."

Surprise.

Basically, what we do is
we select guests at random...

and we offer them
a free upgrade to a suite.

And dinner for two
at Mystique.
Wonderful.

I don't know, honey. I like
our room. And we'd have to
pack all our stuff.

No. You would never have to
do that. We have a bellman
to do that.

And we dry-clean
all of your things.

And you know those
plush Montecito robes?

We give you those.

Four, of course.

Couple for you,
couple for loved ones at home.

Sounds good to me.
Wonderful.

You can't really beat that.

All right, it's off.
You can take it.

- All right, lunch, guys.
- Good.

Hey guys. Have you tried
our Gunther burger?
It's on the house.

Had one yesterday. I think
we're gonna head over
to the food court.

Enjoy the food court.

Delinda, why did I listen
to this Paul Anka?

We knew there'd be
a little drop-off
after the grand opening.

But we have to give our
lunch business
a little time to grow.

Yeah, my reputation will fall
like a nicht gebaden souffl?.

You seem to be using
a lot more German these days.

Well, that's because you
make me all so ubergeschnappt.

Hey, sweetie.
Hey.

Thought I'd stop by
and try one of these
Gunther burgers.

Are you doing this
as a favor to me...

or did you hear
they were good?

Yeah, favor to you.
Okay. Great. Enjoy.

Thanks.

Hey, Delinda,
you got a minute?
Sure, why not?

Look, I was more than happy
to help you guys out...

but I tasted
one of your burgers.
Yeah.

I'm afraid you're gonna lose
more customers than you win
with those things.

I don't know,
maybe it's just me.

No. It's not just you.
That bad, huh?

Inedible.

Maybe he should
stick to the strudel.
Yeah, good idea.

Hello.
Good afternoon.

Thank you for coming in,
Mr. McCoy.
I wanted to.

And I want you to know that
it wasn't my idea
to have a lawyer here.

Kathy Berson.
I have nothing to hide.

Then this should be real easy.

Detective, my client and I
arrived here separately
and I was just wondering...

if we could take a minute
to discuss...
I don't need a minute.

In fact, I think
I should do this alone.
Danny?

Leave.

Leave.

This is a mistake.

Well, here I am.

You don't mind if I check you
for a wire, do you?

Yes, I do.

Take a hike, muscles.

I want to apologize
for my treatment
of that waitress.

She can't help the fact that
she's incompetent.

Your note said
you wanted to discuss
a settlement.

You know, Mr. Deline,
in my business experience
I have found that...

even the most antagonistic
interests can resolve
their conflicts if...

How much do you want?

I don't want money.
I want justice.

And when I called my company
to tell them I might
have to stay here...

to seek that justice,
I learned something
very interesting.

Something that could benefit
both of us.

You learned that
filing false charges
was a crime?

I don't see
how that benefits me.

I was told that you have
an influential relationship...

with the Malaysian government.

Actually, I was told you have
influential relationships
all over the world.

Who told you that?

You're not the only
ex-CIA spook working
for a major corporation.

Here's my proposal:
Ou help us get approval
for several projects...

in Kuala Lumpur
and my complaint against
Danny McCoy goes away.

It's a golden opportunity,
Mr. Deline. My complaint
is legitimate.

But I am willing to sacrifice
my dignity for the sake
of my company.

How very noble of you.

So?

So, I make
a couple of calls...

and you withdraw
your complaint.

Do we have a deal?

Not if you dragged
my naked body
over broken glass.

You watch out, sweetheart.

We're gonna start
getting serious.

Ed.
Hey, Mike.

I'm sorry I can't find
anything on Monica Wells.

I checked everywhere,
every database,
our off-the-books sources.

Take it easy.
He's gonna be okay.

To make Danny
go through this crap.

There's nothing else
we can do?
No. There's plenty we can do.

I'm not saying, you know,
breaking the law
or something...

We can bend it a little bit.

I guess you're right.
Don't worry.
He's not going to get hurt.

I hope not.

I'll catch you later.
All right.

Hey, it's Deline.

Look, I need a big favor.

No. It's personal.

Mr. Cannon?
Hey, Carmela. What's up?

Maybe it's nothing,
but one of the suites
on my floor...

I think they might have
some wild animal inside.

You should hear the sounds.
Can I stop you for a moment?

Sam, what's the Socals'
new room number?

Thank you. Would this be 5301?

There were other complaints?
I know the other guests
heard it.

One of them told me
it was scaring her.
It's not a wild animal,
Carmela.

It's old people making love.

I'm so sorry.

No. It's okay.
I appreciate your concern.

In fact, I'm gonna put in
a good word for you...

with the head
of housekeeping, okay?
I'm so sorry.

Yeah. Don't worry about it.
It's just old folks
fornicating.

You shouldn't have
tossed Kathy Berson.

She can talk about protecting
my rights all she wants,
but we both know cops.

You walk in there with
a lawyer, they automatically
assume you're guilty.

Did Luis tell you when they're
gonna come down
with a decision?

Luis removed himself
from the case.

He thinks they're probably
gonna decide something soon.

This woman lies.
She makes up charges.
She damages my reputation.

I tell the truth,
I play by the rules...

I'm the one waiting
to find out if I'm
gonna be charged.

Look, if you are...

If we are, you better believe
there's going to be...

a lot of time, energy,
and money wasted
on my defense.

I think that we should
hit back.

Deal with this thing
the Vegas way. You know,
the old Vegas way.

I think that's a bad idea.

Come on, Ed. If this were you,
you wouldn't be
sitting around...

waiting for the cops to
make up their minds. You'd be
doing something.

I think we should run
a background check.
I already did. She's clean.

Yeah.

Detective Jernigan.

This is Danny.

I understand.

All right, I'll be down
before 5:00.

What?

They're filing charges.

You want me to go down
with you?

No, I'm fine.

Greg, it's Deline. Let's go.

Mr. And Mrs. Socal?
I'm Mike Cannon,
with the Montecito.

I understand my colleague
Sam Marquez upgraded you
to a suite.

Yes. It's spectacular.

Wonderful.
And so is she.

Wonderful.

She speaks very highly
of you as well.

In fact, our mansion
just opened up...

and you guys seem like
such nice folks, we thought
we should move you over there.

A mansion?
Most people don't even know
we have it.

It's at the back of
the property. It's an actual
free-standing mansion...

totally isolated
from the other guest rooms.

That's not necessary.
The suite is more than enough.

Hey. The Montecito's all about
exceeding expectations.

So I will have a bellman
collect your things
right away, okay?

Mike. Yeah.

You folks have been so nice
to us. I hope you haven't
gotten any complaints.

Complaints?

I've just started
taking these...

and the combination of
a kick-in-the-pants for me...

and being here in Vegas has
pretty much turned Suzy
into a wild animal.

What do you think, honey?
Wonderful.

Every time,
screaming like a banshee.

I just thought, maybe some of
the other guests
might have complained.

No complaints.

Want to try one? I got plenty.

Thanks anyway.
I know you don't need them...

but a guy your age, your
girlfriend will be able to do
chin-ups on your shwanz.

I appreciate your offer,
but I am cool.

You enjoy the mansion.

Okay?
Okay.

No, this is no good.

We will blame Benito.

Gunther, it's my fault.
I was wrong.

Lunch at Mystique...
It's definitely not
a good idea.

Yeah. But maybe you can
make it up to me
in some special way.

We will raise our
dinner prices and change
our waitress outfits.

Delinda, the outfits,
the lunch...

these are not matters
for a chef of stardom
to concern.

Tiffany, could you come here,
please?

Thank you.

A tuxedo?

It's body paint, Gunther.

Yeah, this is
a very good idea.
I think so, too.

Are those buttons?

Well, hi.

Changed your mind.
Yeah.

I had a feeling that you
wouldn't want to put your
handsome young prot?g?...

through the humiliation
of a trial.

I called Malaysia and that
deal that you were
working on...

it's not gonna happen.

And the two projects
in Taiwan and South Africa...

I'm afraid they're dead.

They've already been approved.

I guess they've been
unapproved.

Don't kid yourself,
Mr. Deline.
You don't scare me.

Is that a new experience
for you?

That co-op that you were
about to close on
in New York...

that, too, has been
unapproved.

Apparently, the board
of directors, they had
a change of heart.

I mean, go figure.

And you'll be
receiving a letter
from Briarcliff Country Club.

That would be tomorrow.

I think they're gonna ask
for your resignation.

You expect me to believe that?
No. Not at all.

I'd just make some calls
and find out.

Hell, you know what,
I'm not even sure...

that your credit cards
are any good anymore.

I'll see you in court.
You've got one hour.

Turn to your left.

Okay, over here.

Put your left hand on the pad.
Like that?

Leave it there. Don't move.

This way. Come on.
Take it easy.

Hey. Where is he?

Processing.
When's the arraignment?

I'll try to get him in
as soon as I can...

and, don't worry,
the judge'll R.O.R. Him.

Hey.

Wait here, please.

I guess I do need
a lawyer now.

Danny, if we have to negotiate
something, I mean, it's not
the end of the world.

Mr. McCoy. Ms. Wells just
called and decided to
withdraw her complaint.

And told the D.A.
That she wouldn't testify.

The charge has been dropped.
You are free to go.

That's great.

Detective, you and I have
a little paperwork to do.

What?

- How are you?
- Good. Thanks.

I told you the system
would work.

The system or your system?

If you weren't just
sitting around waiting,
I want to thank you.

Nothing to thank me for.

What did you do?

Ed?

What did you do?
You ever hear of deniability?

If you're anywhere
near this thing, she'll
accuse you of blackmail...

obstruction of justice.
She could accuse you, too.

No. Look, I got a way
with people.

They find me
extremely likeable.

Really. I didn't know that.

Is Stinson happy?
Ecstatic. How are the Socals?

Yeah, I know they're happy
about their sex-a-thon.

I don't want to hear
anymore about it.

I can't see them complaining
about getting bumped...

from a $99-a-night
Internet special to
a $10,000-a-night mansion.

You ever try those?

What?
Pills.

The ones Socal's taking?

I know you don't need them.

I'm just saying sometimes
young guys take them for fun.

A four-hour erection is fun?
Yes. Sounds fun to me.

Hey, Ed and Danny are back.

What the hell's going on
over there?

##

Sure. Thanks.

Young lady.

Can I help you, Mr. Deline?

I was just checking.
Just checking.
That's all, thanks.

Okay.

Delinda.

I do like
a double-breasted tuxedo.

Put some clothes
on those girls right now.

Daddy, it's body paint.
They're more covered than...

This is not a debate.
Put clothes on the girls.

Okay.

I think it's a good idea.

Me, too.

Johnny.

Is that the girl
from the other night?

Lisa. She applied
for a job. Hey.

I thought later on, you know,
we could maybe...

Hey.
Hi.

- You remember me?
- I was talking to her.

- Yes. Of course.
- Put this on now.

Can you put this on? Thanks.

Thanks, buddy.
I just want to apologize for the...

Hold on. Here, let me.

You know what, here.

Why don't you go ahead
and just wipe
before it smears.

I don't think that...

Can you put this on?
Sure.

Tiffany, put this on.

What?

No shirts!

Danny.

Danny!

Danny, tell them to stop.

No. I'm off duty.

Danny. Do something.

No shirts!

No shirts!
